Adele + Cosmo = Smoking: The New Cosmo Grrrl



While perusing the newsstand, dodging headlines about Kim Kardashian's wedding, I glanced  at Cosmopolitan's December issue. Speaking to all women, no matter what shape or size, Cosmo's cover girl is Adele. Wearing a sexy, bodice hugging leopard print top by Dolce & Gabanna, and staring boldly with her smoldering eyes next to this provocative cover line, "100 Best Sex Tips of The Year," she steals the show.
I'll always be a  Cosmo Girl at heart and it's nice to see a curvy Cosmo Grrrl!

What I'm Reading Now: The Refresher Course for Plus Size Fashionistas

As high end retailers like Saks Fifth Avenue pull the plus size department from their brick & mortor business, adding to the confusion and frustration of the plus size shopping experience, along comes a fresh update on plus size fashion.
"Keeping it Curvy. Confident. Chic" by Marie Denee, editor in chief of The Curvy Fashionista,®  gives readers a strategy and plenty of encouragement on just how and where to find their curvy style and fit.
Once a stylist, always a stylist; I'm rotating my seasonal clothes this weekend, pulling recurring trends from my archive, and tidying up my closet. I can vouch for all Denee's tips.
Even though magazines like Marie Claire have begun to acknowledge plus size style, this book fills the void, regardless of whether you need to give your wardrobe a complete overhaul or just a seasonal tune-up. A great style guide, "Keeping It Curvy. Confident. Chic" cuts to the chase. You'll find everything you need to know to get dressed NOW and more.
